HEL.SINBORo, Jui;E 13.-A traveller, who p;aiied through Memel, on his way to thiscountry, asserts, that he niet in that city the,Emperor ot Russia, who was on his journey to Koningsberg. - The purport of this journey to obtain an interview with the King - of Prussia respeaing matters that at present can only be conjectured. STOC 04, JUNE 10.—Major-General Dobeln has concluded a, convention with the enemy, accord ing to which their troops are to evacuate West Both nia on the 3d of June, as by this means our tiooos will be able to withdraw from that country, which could not have been maintained 'without very consi derable exertions. The convention is as follows : Art. 1. The troops under the orders of his Ex cellency Major-General Dobeln are to evacuate the town of Umeo the 3 tst May, both by sea And land, and the Russian troops are to enter the said town on , the 26th of May. All hostilittes Ore to cease by land and at sea six square leagues distant, limo and the mouth of the Umeo being the central point; but as the two , Contraaing Generals ,cannot be answerable - for what may be passing in other points by order of their Sovereigns, it is understood that this article only concerns the fleets Which may be under their orders during the said time in the west part Of the , •Gulph of Bothnia. • Art. 2.

Orders have been received for all the battalions of infantry, reported fit for service in the Kent dis. tria, to hold . themselves in readiness to match for embarkation at an hour's notice. Among the regi ments made subje& to this order are, the 6th (Ist battalion),-at Ospringe ; gth and 38th (Ist batta-. lion), at Canterbury ; 42d at Shoincliffe ; 50th (Ist battalion) at Banisgate; 68th and list at Braborne ; gist at Deal ; and oth at Hythe. The 38th regiment marched early 'this . morning from Canterbury for Deal, to be in readiness to be embarked when required. ' Great exertions are making in the Naval Yard, at Deal, in order to get ready all the flat-bottomed Boats, three of which were ycsterday.sent on board the illustrious in the Downs. It is said that a small .expedition, to consist of one cr two brigades, of which the 6th, gth, and 50th regiments, are to form a part, ,will sail immediately, and that the troops will be embarked in men of war. They are to move with the lightest possible equipment. Two troops ot the 2d (Qu een's) Dragoon Guards, march this morning from Canterbury . for Hythe, to do the coast duly, in the place of two troops of the 12th Light Dragoons, which have been ordered to join their regiment, eight troops of which are un der orders for embarkation. Besides the above ca valry regitnent, a similar number of troops of the 3d (King's Own) Dragoons, at Canterbury, are ordered to be in readiness to embark for foreign service on the shOrtest notice. The 2d battalion of the.Bth and 96th regiments, lately embarked at Portsmouth, supposed for Jersey, have received orders to send all their heavy baggage on shore. The Bth are about 6do strong, and the 96th about 400 strong. Letters from Holland by the vessel which brought the papers received on Saturday, mention that great apprehensions were entertained that a Decree for a rigorous snd ,extensive conscription would imme diately appear. It is reported that an embargo took place in the Dutch ports on Wednesday or Thurs• day. Hoosur: KHAN, brother to the reigning King of PERSIA, it is reported, has escaped from the confine ment, in which his multiplied sits of rebellion had made it necessary for some years to place him; The Persian Government attribute his escape to foreign intrigue, and look with a jealous eye on the French party at Court ; who, in their turn, are extremely chagrined iii having failed to draw the King into their views. A letter from Bengal, dated January 19, states, that reports had reached that place of some very alarming disturbances having broken out in the Nor thern districts of Assam, which had occasioned a temporary suspension of the trade with those parts. An attempt to levy some unpopular impoits, first ex cited them.. The people were encouraged in their resistance by a considerable body of the military, in conjunction with whom, they, had seized several bill forts, well provisioned and provided with mili tory stores, as well as some extensive powder works, and a foundery for ordnance. Their ringleader is an Officer of distinction. A considerable force has been sent from Gergham against them, but their re duction is likely to be a work of time. The number of deer in Windsor Forest has of late been much diminished. In 1731 there were 1300, and in 180 d, only .318. This' decrease is attributed to a scarcity of food during winter, at which period a great mortality takes place, and the surviving does have not strength sutficieneto maintain the fawns. FAWCETT has reached Newcastle upon Tyne, in his excursion to Edinburgh, and is performing there with great eclat. Miss NORTON, from Covent Garden Theatre, is also gone on the same track, and performs with him. BANNISTER is gone with what he denominates his Budget,' to various parts of the Kiugdoni.

EBERSDOEF, JUNE 4.--!--The enemy bad thrown upon the right bank of the Danube, opposite to Pre.- burgh, a body of 9000 men, who entrenched them sOves in the village of Engorau. The Duke of Auerstadt attacked them yesterday with the sharp shooters of . Hesse Darmstadt, supported by tho 12th tegiment of infantry of the line. The village was speedily carried. A Major and eight other °t hee: s of 13eaulieus's regiment, (one of them the grand son of Field-Marshal Beaulieu) and 400. men were made prisoners. The rest of this regiment wete killed, wounded, or driven into the water. The re mains of the enemy's corps found in an island the necessary prote&iun fur their re-crossing the river'. The sharp-shooters of Hesse Darmstadt acquitted themselves extrerhely. well. The Viceroy of Italy has returned to , his army, and for the present has his head-quarters at Orden burgh, in Hungary. All the valuable effects belong ing to the Court have been conveyed from Olen to Peterwaradin, on the frontiers of Servia. 'lli Em press has also repaired thither.

In the battle Of Esling, on the 2ist and 22d of last month; Brigadier General Foulers was wounded, in making a charge, and thrown from his horse. A similar ac cident bele! the General of Divhion Durosnel, Aid- de-Camp to the Emperor, as he was carrying orders to a diviaion of cuirassiers; who were charging the enemy. We Wire had the satisfaction of learning that both these Generals, and 150 soldiers, whom we gave tip for lost, were only wounded, and that they were left lying among the 'coin, at the moment when the Emperor, on learning that the bridges had been broken down, ordered t he troops to concentrate themselves between Esling and Great ASpern.' The Danube falls, but from the continuance of the warm weather, we tear it will rise agaitt. PARIS, JUNE 18.—The Moniteur of this darebn tains nothing new from ilia army.

The Ulm, of 74 - guns, was launched on 25th at Toulon. The Duke of Montebello (Mar shal Lannes). who lately died of his wounds, was 38 years of age. He was studying for the bar, at the pelled when the Revolution brokeout ; but, I;ke Moreau, Joubert; and several other heroes, whose names are celebrated in the military annals of France, he abandoned the gown for the sword. 'He , dis tinguished himself in the field by the most undaunt ed bravery, and in the tuitions campaigns of Italy, and during the expedition io Egypt, ha gained the friendship of a hero, cupable.ot justly appreciating merit and valour. Be also particularly distinguished himself in the 'siege of Saragoisa, and lately at the taking of • Ratisbon. The.

LINTZ, JUNE 6,—According to advices from Vi enna, nothing of importance hal occurred up to yesterday. 2 heAdstrians have, on their part, form ed entrenchments in front of the French tele-de pont. On the Hungarian' frontiers, the Austrians have five regiruenis of infantry and one of cavalry, which prevent the conveyance of provisions from Hungary to, Austria. The Bavarian division, under the command of the Hereditary Prince and Gene ral Wrede, encamped near this city on the 2d inst. SALTZRURG, JUNE 6.—The greater part of the corps under the command of General Chasteler,, in the Tyrol, who, by the rap:d advance of the army of Italy, found their means of escape by the Pun terthal to Carinthia, and thence to Hungary, cut off, again made their appearante in the Punterthal, under the same Commander; in,w hick quarter, by spreading false reports, and availing themselves of the departure of the Bavarian division, they com pletely revived the insurrection which had just been suppressed. General Deroi being attacked from dif ferent points, at laspruck, concentrated his force, and took up a strong position near Kufstein, whence lie detached a body of troops towards Pang and Aibling, to protect the environs of Munich from de predation, as the insurgents from the district of Scharnita scour the country as far as, Benediahourn. The Insurgents were yesterday at Loser, and it is not improbable that this city may soon have a visit from them. Meanwhile the burghers perform guard, and every thing in this place is • completely quiet. According to the adviees we - receive, the re bels extend their plundeling excursions from Saar nitz, along the her, as far as Woltarthausen, and in the direction of Landsberg, as far as Wilhelm. FRANCKVORT, JUNG In.—The division • of Gen. Rivatid, belonging to the army of the Duke of Val my, has received orders to break up for Swabia.— This division is completely organized, and consists of iO,OOO men. , A bridge of boats has been thrown across the Mein at Lenglort, to expedite their pas sage. According to letters from Carlsruhe, the Hessian and Baden brigades of Infantry were, 'on the Ist inst. at Oedenburg, on the Lake of Neusi del, under the command of Gen. Lauriston. STUTGARD, JUNE 7.—According to advices from the Wirtemberg head-quarters, dated St, Polten, the 2d instant, the King's forces are at present employ. ed in covering the right bank of the Danube from Molck to Vienna, and defending the position of St. Polten. 'On the 31st of May the enemy; with a fame of about I 200 infantry, crossed the Danube at Hnllenberg below Krems, in seveial large boats, and,, upon driving in, the Royal outposts, attetnred to advance by the valley of Hollenbarg., They, however, speedily saw advancing towards them , se veral detachments of thee Royal infantry, who assem bled , A ith the utmost expedition, whilst their rear Was threatened by the cavalry. Therapidity with • left bank of the Danube prevented our cava`cy from taking inure tb an.so prisoners. --Gen. Vandainnie, upon this, gave orders t(i- file upon the, town of Krems, and to. set it in. flames. Our tire was an swered by a brisk dischaige of artillery on the part GI the enemy, by which Captain Van Brogward, of the Royal army, was killed, Colonel, Schtradow ,wounded, and the Lieutenant Count Van N o oman threnfels had his left leg shot away. rtIEDLING . EN, JUNR 6.—The Insurgents in the Voralberg i who had surrendered at diicreti , n, and renewed their oath's of allegiance to the King of Nr aria,' no sooner heard that the BaVarian divii‘jori • had marched off to the Danube, than, at the lnsti-• galion of Austrian. Emissaries, they again took up arms, and advanced towards the frontiers of Wir• - • ternberg,and Baden. Kempton, and.,the place ad jacent, are again in their possession. The French and Wirtemberg troops . are concentrating them-. selves,l and all the soldiers that can any where be procured, are sent off to reinforce them. Ftorn Stutgard, 2.50 have, been forwarded, in waggons to the frontiers. From Aupburg, 800 infantry, and 600 cavalry, have marched for Landsberg, to make head against the insurgents who are attempting to advance from the side of Lech. On the other hand, the Berg regiment of light horse has entered Augs• burg. On the instant, the Voralberg insurgents made an attack on Lindau, but met with such a re ception, that they fled in disorder, and carried Off with them a great number of killed and wounded.— We expect a numerous 'reinforcement ,of French . troops in this quarter. • RUSSIAN UKASE. . It is known to. the whole world, with what firm ness the iradeof neutrals has been protealed by Rus sia, when the Powers of Europe were at war ; it is known with what .constancy she has guarded. the interests of nations in time of peace, against the events of war. Following up this invariable princi ple, also, during the presnt rupture with 13ritain; we entertained the fullest hopes that the trade with friendly powers would not be carried on by forbid den means.; but as experience during the last sea son has proved to us, that the enetny_ has found it pbcticable, by means of neutral vessels, to supply' himself with such produce as he stood in • need of; and td gain strength by exchanging.his own produce ; we have at present been-compaed to order two 'ves sels to be seized. For these reasons, and to pre vent various subterfuges' and artifices, we have deemed it necessary to. establish some rules, and hereby order : 1. That all masters of neutral vessels,' arriving at our poris, are to prove the property being•neutral, by the tuliowing,doeuments of the ship, viz. a pass, ship's register, muster roll, log book, (locket, mani fest at sue cargo, the charter party, bills of lading, certificates of origin, whether the cargo, or part of she belon g ;~ to the Captain, and by the invoices of such vessels as come tram America or the Indies, or are bound there. In case, however, the Master is not provided with any one of those documents the ship is tube sent out of ouci parts, and not to be per mitted to discharge. 2.7 In case of, Neutral Ships being partly loaded with merchandize, which can be proved to be of 'the manufacture or produce of the enerity,' the same to be stopped, the goods to be seized, and sold by public auction for the benefit of Government ; but if more 'than half of i p e cargo contests of such goods, then not only' the cargo, but also the ship is to'be seized. • 3: A pass granted the ship, by a neutral, friendly, or allied Power, is not to be considered legal, as soon as it appears that the Master has acted contrary to the same; or if the ship 'is named in .the pass differently to what she is iu the rest of her docu ments, unless the'alteratidn made is proved by docu ments attested by legal'authOrity, at the place from which .the vessel departed, and produwl before the Magistraefuf said place; in this instance the Master is nut to be considered L eilty. • 4. A pass is not to be considered valid, if it should appear that the vessel to which it is granted was not, at the very time „it ib dated, at one of the ports of the Power by which it had been given. . 5. If the Supercargo or Master. or more than One-third of the crew of a neutral vessel, should be subjects of Powers at war with tw, or if such a vessel is not provided with a mute:-rull of the. crew, duly attested by the. Magistracy of such neutral ports from 'which the same departed, then both ship and cargo are to be seized, but the crew to be set at li berty. 6. If it should appear that the pass produced by the Master has been coutitertehed or altered, ship and cargo are to be seized for the benefit of Government, and the Master to be brought to trial, and to be de.ilt with as is prescribed bythe laws for those who make false documents ; the crew to be set at liberty. 7. If it snonld appear that a. vessel is provided with double documents, 'wrtli different destinations, such a vessel 'mid her cargo to be seized tur the be nefit of Gavernment. In case the Master wishes to . justify himself, by having lost his documents, and cannot produce any proofs, his Vessel to be 'detained, granting him time for procuring the same,propor tionate to the distance, if he w !sites it;, else, it the Master cannot wait so laitg, ship and cargo are int ingdiately to be sent off.; but it at the expiration of the period fixed l the Master dues not produce the needful proofs, ship and cargo are to be seized fur the benefit of Government. 8 No ship built by the enemy is to be considered neutral, unless aisionoother documents r a tested document is tound, proving the sale or trans fer to have taken place, before the declaration.of i the war; else ship and cargo to he seizedfor the benefit of Government. . 9. it the Qwner and Commander of a neutral vessel happen to be a native of a nation at war with us, and are provided with passes of a neutral Power, in such a case the pass is not • to. serve as a cleat as long as they cannot prose haying become objetts and residents of such a Power previous to the declara tion of war; else they are to be sent otf, with their ships, not allowing them to take in return cargoes. st.
